Screenwriter Simon Beaufoy on making Aron’s story relatable to an audience…
“We started with trying to work out what the film is really about, as opposed to being a survival story. It was very important that it’s a many layered thing and it’s about a journey that everybody in the audience connected [to].
“Nobody in the audience is going to go through that ordeal but pretty much all of us have been in that place where you turn your back on people and perhaps haven’t treated them as kindly or as carefully as you should. This is really a film about someone having to stand there for five days and look back on what he did right and what he did wrong.”
